What Do Stock Calipers Weigh

I had asked about the weight of performance brakes previously, but one thing that was never stated was the weight of the stock calipers. Has anyone weighed one of them? Also, are there any differences in size/weight of those on the early cars versus the later ones?
 
caliper weight

the early style had a cast iron (steel?) bracket that pinned to the piston housing. sorry, none here to measure. the later ones were all aluminum and they are 1 pound front and 1 1/2 pounds rear as far as I can tell.
hopes this helps

calipers

yea as far as I can remember they all will fit on all years. the reason for the full aluminum calipers was most likely a "man hour" saving measure putting the early 74's (aluminum/steel) together.
